The 29-year-old woman flagged down police on Myrtle Street and said a large black male of a dark complexion, wearing a red shirt and baggy black pants, came up behind her as she was walking.

The victim said her attacker “rummaged through her clothing” and “tried to drag her to a secluded area,” according to the police report. She sustained minor injuries.

Responding officers and detectives located and positively identified the teen, who was then seen trying to break into a house on Rose Street.

The juvenile, whose name would not be released, Gaimari said, was charged with attempted robbery; aggravated assault and criminal restraint.

He was lodged in the Cumberland County Detention Center and the case is still under investigation. An initial detention hearing is typically held within the first 24 hours and a probable cause hearing is held within 72 hours.

“Because of the nature of his charges, I don’t anticipate release but that’s up the judge,” Gaimari said.
